Siuslaw captures Sky-Em Dual Meet title

The Siuslaw Vikings wrestling team captured the Sky-Em Dual Meet Championship on Thursday at Glenn Butler Court.

Siuslaw was first, Marshfield second, Cottage Grove third, Junction City fourth and Elmira fifth. Marist does not field a team.

"We have never hosted a league dual meet championship," Siuslaw coach Neil Wartnik said. "It was an opportunity for us to grow as a team in many ways.

"And the Viking squad responded so well. Even those who were unable to compete due to sickness or injury contributed in meaningful ways, helping with the scoring, and administration of matches."

"To be able to win despite being less prepared than I'd like the team to be was a major accomplishment."

The Vikings won three of their four matches, 57-22 over Cottage Grove, 36-24 over Elmira and 42-27 over Junction City. Marshfield was also 3-1, its lone loss 42-39 to Cottage Grove.

"Our performance was a true team effort," Wartnik said. "We got big wins from many new and young team members — in particular against Cottage Grove, notably Wilson Zhen, Jacob Welton, Joel Sissel, and Aiden Armstrong.

"Mainstays in the team's success were Yoskar De La Mora, Leonardo Robertson, and Hunter Petterson in the lighter weights, and John Corser, Mason Buss, Joel Sissel, Dayne Muller, and Cort Waggoner.

"Our crew won many matches by coming from behind. They had grit and tenacity.We are still not where we want to be. So many team members missed practices over break due to travel, sickness, and injury. Hopefully we can get in shape and make a few needed adjustments."

The five Sky-Em League schools are in two 4A special districts — Siuslaw, Elmira/Crow and Junction City in District 2 and Marshfield and Cottage Grove in District 3.

Siuslaw freshman Macali Cade pinned Kayla Hayes of Marshfield in 3 minutes, 3 seconds in the truncated girls competition.

The Lady Vikings had on six matches overall, with Cade going 1-0, Madison Petterson 0-2 and Rosa Velasco Mendez 0-3.

The Vikings are scheduled to compete Saturday in the King of the Hill Tournament at Pleasant Hill.
